GAS-BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 30, 1908.

Application filed January B, 1908. Serial No. 409,828.

To all whom 'if may concern:

' Be it known that we, HOMER R. SHEPPARD and EDGAR A. GEsLER, citizens of the United States of America, residin(r at Greensburg, in'th'e county of Westmoreand and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gas-Burners, of

' which the following is a' specification, reiference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to a gas burner, and

- the primary o'bject of our invention is, to

tion is better understood, the same consists in thevnovel construction, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter described, and then specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings we have illustrated a vertical sectional view of our burner.

' The burner comprises a casing 1 supported by a sleeve, 2 upon a suitable gas `supply plpe 3, this pipe having a controlling valve 4, and a gas 1et 5, within the casing 1. The lower end o the casing 1 is open, while the tp 'thereof tapers, as at 6 to a stand pipe 7, and this stand pipe terminates in a semi-spherical head 8. Supported in the head 8 by rivets 9 is a-semi-spherical deiiector 10, this deector providinv an annular passageway 11 for the gas, whic is ignited at the confronting edges of the head 8 and the defiector 10, thus providing a circular iame, the intensity of which can be increased or decreased, by the regulation o f the valve 4. The stand pipe 7 is formed upon its interior with an annular contraction 12, this contraction forming an opening 13 having Hared ends 14.

It will thus be observed that the air admitted atthe bottom of the casing will be retarded when passing upwardly through the stand pipe 7, and the gas admitted by the jet 5 will have sui'licient time to commingle with the air, before the admixture escapes through the opening 13 to the burner head.

Having now described our invention what we claim as new, is

In a gas burner, a cylindrical casing having an open lower end and a frusto-conical upper end terminating in an elongated tubular stem ared at its upper end into semi-spherical form, the said tubular stem portion having a contracted passage intermediate its ends, and a semi-spherical deiiector within the semispherical upper end ofthe stem, said deector spaced from the semi-spherical portion'oi the stem with its upper edgegon the same lane as the upper edge of said semi-spherica portion of the stem.

In testimony whereof we a'flx oui` signatures in the presence of two witnesses.
